Good news. Press release concerning the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors dramatic
reversal of support for the Islamic Saudi Academy attached for your blog. Heres an excerpt of the Press release from John Cosgrove,
Virginia Chapter Director
United American Committee.

On June 23, 2008, the
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, responding to public outcry,
unanimously reversed its support of the Islamic Saudi Academy, and
called for the U.S. State Department to investigate the school.
Though the UAC applauds the BoS’s decision to demand such an
investigation, the UAC disagrees with the BoS’s claims of ignorance
regarding the ISA. Given the preponderance of available government
reports, and the testimony presented to the BoS during a May 19, 2008
hearing on the ISA, the BoS only remained unaware of relevant
information due to its own preference. The UAC questions how the BoS
on May 19th, proclaimed their investigation of the ISA
sufficiently resourced and conclusive, yet now claims the County
lacks the capability to conduct an adequate investigation.

The UAC regrets that it
took the arrest of the ISA Director General, another government
report, and a protest to convince the BoS to finally take action and
heed the warnings of the USCIRF reports that BoS Chairman Gerry
Connolly called TVC member Jim Lafferty slanderous for citing.

The UAC also disagrees
with the BoS assertions of impotency, as, on May 19th, it
fully had within its power to delay the approval of the ISA lease
until completion of a US State Department investigation. Instead it
issued the ISA, and its now arrested Director General, an apology.
The BoS has now called upon the US State Department to conduct the
same investigation UAC and coalition partners requested on May 19th.

The UAC believes the BoS
can do even more, and believes the ISA has abused the goodwill of its
hosts. The BoS must stop passing the buck and finally hold the ISA
accountable for its repeated lies and running a curriculum of
religiously sanctified murder for almost 20 years. Accordingly, the
UAC calls for the closure of the ISA and competitive bidding for use
of the County property it leases.
